In class yesterday we took a look at an article that was produced by PBS that spoke and race relations in Harrison, Arkansas. In this article a wide variety of issues were covered from the presence of the KKK in Harrison to the pride and history that many people invest into the confederate flag…the entire article can be seen above.

In class today we will also be taking some time to debate a very highly contested topic…the confederate flag. The flag itself is a very polarizing symbol than typically conjures up feelings of hate or pride depending on the person’s perception. We will be discussing what the flag stands for…does it represent pride and history or does it represent a symbol of racism.
